Trump Store In Bucks Co. Swamped Since Assassination Attempt
BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —Mike Domanico brought 80 shirts into the Trump Store Tuesday morning and the audience cheered.
It’s a T-shirt with an Associated Press photo of former President Donald Trump pumping his fist in the air and saying “Fight, Fight, Fight” as Secret Service agents try to rush him off the stage after an assassination attempt during an outdoor rally in Butler Saturday evening.
“Everyone wants that shirt,” Domanico said. “The picture is iconic.”

Domanico opened the store on 2060 Street Rd. near Knights Roada little more than four years ago. He had started selling Trump T-shirts at a kiosk in the Neshaminy Mall around Christmas time.
While Domanico said that he’s had strong months in 2020, this past month is nearing the best ever in sales.
“We’re getting there,” he said. “Sales should be strong for the next four months through the election.”
Domanico also hits the road with a portable trailer that circulates in Chalfont and in Skippack in Montgomery County.
“I’d like to take it to other places, but I’m doing so good,” he said.
